Your newest addition:traditionals of course!

Can't upload but last week I got a buck jig bone 389 yesterday I got a case bone stage Barlow and today I got an Arthur wright Wharncliffe snake wood handle Barlow. The traditional knives have hooked me lately.

Thanks my Friend I actually came across it by accident lol. I bought a slip from TPK and another knife . When I received it there was a note in the slip saying it was made for the Hedgehog . So curiosity got the better of me and looked it up and I liked the looks and what I read . Then watched some reviews and I was sold lol but had high expectations and a little nervous at the same time. But man it’s nice flush at the back strap half and fully open, dead center blade. You can run your finger over every part of the knife and the jigging and all smooth no sharp edges anywhere except for the blade with a nice even grind. Almost a flat grind or maybe a really shallow hollow grind but either way she’s a slicers and thin behind the edge. I’d say a strong snappy upper 8 pull but easily pinches open thank goodness since I do not like strong pulls were a nail nicks are an only option and teeth grinder lol. Anyway I can proudly recommend this one and it’s S90v .
I promise you brother if you get this one you will thank me :) and be very happy I know I am 👍🏻👊🏻
Oh and the presentation is very nice beautiful box and cool stickers . The box with pull strap inside the main box is the exact same as RoseCraft boxes so I have a feeling QSP and RoseCraft “which are great knives also” are in bed together and TPK since it is Austin’s/TPK exclusive. I got to tell you brother if I haven’t already 😆 I love this one man !!!
EDIT: Also it has the most symmetrical edge on the blade pretty much of any knife I’ve ever owned. I can not see any angle change from side to side with my untrained naked eyes🤪
But I’m sure that will vary from knife to knife since they are sharpened by hand. But who ever did this one did a great job. Not a Deal breaker for me though either way if it wasn’t since 99% of the knives I’ve ever owned it always varies so I’m use to it .

Work has been a flurry of trying to get projects closed out for the end of the year. Always tough trying to deal with everyone trying to make their balance sheets look better for the year.

But, I have 2 fantastic new additions to keep me from losing it 😂

Back in the day, when folks did that I automatically did an audit* to make sure there were no "missing" funds (or stock at the retail parts of the business) over the previous 2 or 3 years.
(*Includes inventories, and when applicable expense accounts.)

Some did not realize we kept track of the company's daily expenditures and income.
A few tried (once) to "save" advertising contracts made during the year for December, or listing the contract twice - once when made, and again in December. 🙄
Listing twice or holding for December got them probation to suspension and termination for fraud.

Yude "think" they would remember it was a copy of the contract in their cubical files. The original signed contract was in the station director's files. I also had a copy in my files (and as the director's and station owner's executive secretary, I had access to all their files. (hard copy and electronic)

Yeah, I’m on the engineering side of my company, so I am trying to balance out our field operations insisting they can get X Y and Z billed when they only have one of them finished, our customer sandbagging approvals because they don’t want to spend much more money on this year, and still keep the game leveled with our accounting side.

Getting together paperwork and close out that is supposed to take 3-5 days in less than 1 hasn’t been my favorite time.

I work really closely with our finance oversight for the program, so I have a lot of respect for those “audits” 😂
We laugh all the time if they would just give us 5% of the money we saved them working together, even if we split it evenly we could both take a few years off from working and buy a new house…each 😂

Can’t complain too much though. I like my work, in spite of it all. And there’s not a job worth doing that’s easy!

Adding another pic so we don’t wander too far off topic:
